Yesterday, my husband and I saw an older couple drive into a fast food restaurant's parking lot, get out of their cars, and start searching for pokemon.

I also try to not check on the phone when I'm in the presence of another, like a guest/friend, so my attention is on them. I also think people should stop talking/texting when they approach a customer service person/cashier.

I have a firm rule that when I drive..the phone gets put down and I do not even answer it. Just today I was in line at the grocery store and the guy was talking so loud on his phone. I just dont understand why it could not wait until he was done.
